  1. The 9.95ers might have galvanized their money people to take action. It just takes one asshat to take something personal and write a check.
  2. I concede we can't just get literally anybody, but it's also place kicker we're talking about. How many teams are really going to put semi-serious NIL dollars to keep a place kicker? We're not talking about QB money here. It probably wouldn't cost a lot to poach one of the country's best.
  3. Or maybe we can talk Colin Page into coming back...
  4. There were some nice RB's in the portal. I don't know how many are left, but we really needed a bell cow. Baugh has ungodly leverage now. Hawkins RB teammate might profile as a lighting second running back type.
  5. You didn't ask for analysis. I gave you my kicker choice. Kicking isn't super nuanced. The raw stats most often correlate to quality unless there were serious problems with the blocking or the holder. I believe only one of his misses was blocked. Every kicker can have an off year. This guy only has one good year, and it was just above average, not great. His good year was not this past season either. He's trending in the wrong direction. Do we really think the Memphis coaches never noticed his miss pattern either? Do we think they also didn't try to fix it? No, it was the geniuses on Surly who uncovered the mystery. That must be it. Can Banks or some other coach fix this kicker? Sure. It's possible. But after 3 years at the collegiate level, I think we're fighting long odds. He's a senior. He likely is what he is at this point. Fixing muscle memory and ingrained brain function for something he's probably been doing for a decade is going to be hard in a few months. Even professional athletes struggle with this. When the pressure is the highest is when his old mechanics are most likely to rear their head again.
  6. The Ole Miss kicker has eligibility. Make them pay big to keep him. Make him the highest paid kicker in the country. Make him say no. From 74.2% with a known flaw to 88.5% with clutch in big moments.
  7. He's been in college for at least 3 FUCKING YEARS. 3 years to fix his shit and he hasn't done it. Why take a project when you're gunning for a national championship? You're banking everything on the assumption that he's fixable despite never haven worked with him. There are kickers who aren't currently broken. Recruit the best one to the portal. The comparison to Bert is because he is the reason we had to go get Shipley this past season. We were all happy when Bert left. Now we're bringing in a guy who is statistically worse than Bert. It's relevant because it's confusing, enraging and reeks of laziness.
  8. One good year, one mediocre year, one bad year. Truly horrific from 40 to 49, which is exactly why we got rid of Bert. I just don't fucking understand this take at all. If Bert made one more kick from 50, Bert would be better than this guy from almost every distance measure. I suspect we'll be shopping grad transfers and full qualifier JUCO's after one training camp. Hopefully, I'm wrong, but why we prioritized this guy is beyond me.
  9. That's some Taylor Hamm shit.
  10. If there's a bad ass OT out there, move Baker inside for a year. Next year is the year. We're going big across the board, except for one position apparently.
  11. On my deathbed it will still be too fucking soon.
  12. Normally you wouldn't consider Tech a serious contender for a player like Coleman, but their billionaire is throwing around serious cash. He'll at least drive the price up on whoever gets him.
  13. I'm absolutely baffled by this. He had a bad year, a mediocre year and an above average year. WHY is he even on our radar. It reeks of laziness.
